Bonjour, Toupargel, La Boulangère, Bouygues Telecom, Europcar, Direct Energie, Total Direct Energie and today TotalEnergies, all title sponsors who have lent their colors to the team since its creation. Jersey developments that have never altered the state of mind instilled by Jean-René Bernaudeau and his staff: hurt yourself, have fun, and transmit these emotions to the public. The Vendée team demonstrates that it can remain faithful to its values ​​of solidarity, audacity and humility without giving up the quest for performance.

From its modest beginnings to its resounding successes on the roads of the Tour de France and the great classics, the team has been able to combine tradition and modernity to rise to the highest level.

After more than a quarter of a century, Team TotalEnergies continues to write its history, supported by the fervor of its supporters and the passion of a region deeply attached to cycling.
